Writers have to continue to learn. This is something I spent a lot of time last year working on. I knew that, while I’m really good at complicating the hell out of a plot, it’s always sort of been by the seat of my pants. The last few years, I’ve...

I’m tired, hurt, and unsure about the future. As I imagine some of you out there are as well. The RWA implosion has left me heartbroken, because I needed to know that this organization had my back, and every other romance author’s back. It seems it...
